W. Olive ADA & Street Improvements

The City of Newport, Oregon, through Jackson County, is seeking professional civil engineering services for the W. Olive ADA and Street Improvements Project. The procurement is a Request for Proposals (RFP) soliciting comprehensive services including project management, site assessment, topographic and boundary surveys, pavement condition evaluation, engineering design, public outreach, bidding assistance, and construction administration. Deliverables will include plans, specifications, and construction cost estimates (PS&E) for street and ADA infrastructure improvements along W. Olive Street in the Nye Beach neighborhood. The evaluation criteria will be based on a 100-point scoring matrix with points allocated as follows: Introduction Letter (10 points), Project Understanding (30 points), Project Approach (30 points), Project Schedule (20 points), Experience and References (10 points), and a Pass/Fail Fee Schedule. Key proposal submission and project milestones include a proposal due date of March 12, 2025 at 5:00 PM, with the deadline for additional information requests on March 5, 2025. The anticipated project timeline includes proposal evaluation through April 2025, contract negotiations through May 8, 2025, notice of award by May 27, 2025, and construction planned for Spring-Summer 2026.

While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the project appears to be a standard municipal infrastructure improvement initiative. The proposed improvements aim to rehabilitate pavement, upgrade ADA pedestrian ramps, replace curbs, sidewalks, and driveways, and enhance storm sewer infrastructure along a critical route connecting Nye Beach to US 101. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the available materials. The project will require integration with existing urban infrastructure and compliance with ADA standards. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, municipal infrastructure projects of this nature typically range from $500,000 to $2 million, depending on the extent of improvements and specific engineering requirements. Prospective bidders should demonstrate expertise in municipal civil engineering, ADA compliance, and infrastructure rehabilitation to be competitive in the proposal process.
